"Randolph-Macon's defense, as it has done all season, handled business Sunday. The Yellow Jackets, ranked No. 1 in Division III by D3hoops.com, held Trine, the No. 2 team, to 26 points fewer than its average in a 69-55 victory at Crenshaw Gym.
R-MC opponents were averaging 58 points. Trine, which traveled from Angola, Ind., was averaging 81 points. The Yellow Jackets were led by 6-foot-5 sophomore Miles Mallory, who scored 16 to go with 6 rebounds. Senior guard Buzz Anthony scored 15 and had five assists for R-MC (12-0), the ODAC champion.
This game was arranged by the teams in the absence of a Division III tournament, which will not be held because an insufficient number of teams played in this pandemic season. Trine (17-1) was led by guard Nick Bowman, who was averaging 22 points and scored 15."
>> Situational Awareness: It was just the eighth time that the Nos. 1 and 2 teams in the men's poll have met since 2006-07.
>> Beyond the Box Score: Trine turned the 10-hour trip into an educational experience as well, stopping at the Gettysburg battlefield. It might be one of the only times a DIII basketball team from Indiana has posed for a team picture next to this monument.
The NCAA Football Rules Committee on Friday recommended a change to overtime rules for the 2021 season.
Under the proposal, teams would be required to run a two-point conversion play after a touchdown when a game reaches a second overtime period. If a game reaches a third overtime, teams will run alternating two-point plays, instead of starting another drive at the opponent’s 25-yard line. This rules proposal is being made to limit the number of plays from scrimmage and bring the game to a conclusion.
Teams can still choose whether to kick the point after touchdown or run a two-point conversion play in the first overtime.
Also:
Committee members supported the team area being permanently extended to the 20-yard lines, starting in 2021.
In an editorial change to the rules book, video board and lighting system operators cannot create any distraction that obstructs play.
For the 2021 season, it will be a point of emphasis for officials to penalize any taunting action directed toward an opponent. Committee members think these actions reflect poorly on the game and can lead to unnecessary confrontations.
